Oleomargarine makers hope to have
a successful season. 1t is based upon
the unprecedented drought. that has
burned pastures and forced dairymen,
and in fact all who have livestock, to
feed artiticially all summer. 1t is tell
ing seriously upon those who have
contracts at fixed price to furnish
milk. The retail price of butter, in
cities, is now that Of usual winter
prices. Feeding stuffs are also advanc-
ing. We may look for a corresponding
advance in prices OF butter, milk and
cheese next winter Cheese has felt
the advance fully as much as butter
1t will pay to watch the butter vendors
now. Strict as is the law it will seek
to be evaded. 1t is to be hoped no
dairyman will lend himself 10 the in
iquity. Certainly no decent butter
maker will do 80. No man can afford
to run tho risk Of detection outside that

CONCERNING TiNFOIL.
Mammoth Industry in Which Every To-
bacco Consumer Is Interested.

"A mammoth Ill
bacco Consumer Is Interested.
What was that he threw away?"
"Oh, only piece of tinfoil from his
tobacco"
Only piece of tinfoil. Did you
ever consider how large manufacture
of that article. apparently of so little
value, is carried on? Will you believe
it when you are told that more than
100000 pounds of the foil are used
annually to cover the smoking and
chewing tobacco manufactured in the
United States alone. The method of
making it is interesting. The tin is of
course first taken out of the mines, the
best of which for this purpose are in
Australia and the Dutch possessions of
the East Indies. The metal is found
in veins or assures called lodes, though
it is also often found in dispersed
form in loose stones, which when
found continuously are called
streams. The rock containing the
ore is blasted with gunpowder and
carried to the stamping-mill, where it
is pounded and washed. 1t is next
smelted and the tin run into blocks
containing from 200 to 400 weight
each. This is the condition in which
the metal is kept for ordinary use.
Two means are used to reduce it to the
necessary thinness. The old manner
of hammering by hand after first being
cut is still used to great extent By
this process, however, only one surface
could be produced, and to obviate this
difficulty rolling mills were invented,
Prior to their invention nearly all the
tinfoil was imported, but their use has
completely revolutionized the trade.
The metal IS now placed between two
heavy rollers, which gives it finished
surface on both sides. 1t is then cut
| into widths from twelve to fifteen
inches, rolled upon wooden reels and
carried to cutting machines where it is
cut according to order. 1t is then
packed in boxes OF one hundred pounds
each, being laid in without pressure.
There is another difference between the
1 foil which is beaten and and th at which
is rolled. The former is full OF small
| holes, but the foil to be used for to-
bacco wrappers must be alright. N.

THE FARM HAND.
How Agricultural Laborers Can Create a
Demand for Their Services.


Demand for Their Services.
Give the farm hand to understand
that you have high appreciation of
good work and that nothing on earth
is more provoking than to have the
stock half fed, the gate left half open
and the horse united. Tell him half
cord of split wood is not worth one
half what a well-nailed sixteen-foot
fence board may. be on a cow-yard
fence. Tell him you want your chores
done before he hoes potatoes, saws
wood, votes for Jones or goes to a
funeral. Call his attention to the barn
door motto of a shiftless neighbor:
"Out of nothing something comes"
Tell him bushel in the feed box is
worth two in the bin. Tell him you
love the man that thinks.
One farm hand is now and then pro-
nounced good" because he could
pitch more manure and shovel more
dirt than any other man. This same
fellow goes one hundred and fifty rods
at eleven o'clock to get bolt for his
corn cultivator, while another man
across the way saves an hours valuable
time of himself and team by using
strap on the harness. One man has
thought, the other brains. One earns
(?) ten dollars and the other gets
eighteen dollars a month. Did you
ever stop to think what a poor farm
hand can lose in a year?
He can lose the axe off the bob-sled
in going to timber, and the end-board
to the wagon-box in going to mill. 1t
is just as easy for him to lose as it is for
mosquito to bite. And then again he
can forget more in one day than you
can think of in week. Ho can exhibit
his strength by breaking twenty-five
cent fork-handle In pitching hay and
display his weakness by setting steel
trap for weasel and catching three
dollar hen-dead. He makes a dollar
for you to-day and loses it tomorrow.
Such farm hands work for money,
not honor. They get little of one and
none of the other. If they live hun
bred years they will have worked in as
many counties. Take their inventory.
In 1879 it reads pocketbook, jacA-
knife, pair of overalls, white shirt,
a necktie and pair Of mctallic-tipped
brogans. In 1886 they have got just as
much inventory and less pocketbook.
| The picture is not overdrawn. Every
word means a column and every line a
volume. If the employed perfectly
understood his situation he would en-
deavor to get reasonable increase in
wages by showing his neighbor and
employer that the quality of his work
demanded it. This he could do with
out the use of Webster's unabridged.
His recommends are lying all around.
The corn-field, the hay-stack, the barn.
yard and the garden patch all speak in
his behalf. Every farm hand can
create demand for his labor. Prove
your ability and every farmer will be
after you.-J B. Muncey, TN Detroit

GRASS FARMING.
Mixtures of Varieties That VIII Produce
Profitable Crops.


The raising of grasses or hay is be-
coming more and more common in the
West every year. In many of the States
which were called Western States. are
no longer such now. Wide expanse of
prairie has been cut up into farms, and
what was called an inexhaustible soil
is to-day admitted to be like all soils,
capable of exhaustion. On these lands
many farmers have come to realize
that continual cropping with grain is
final impoverishment and they are
adopting the practice of raising grasses
to a greater or less extent as have their
ancestors in the New England States
for one hundred years, and in the
mother countries for centuries.
There are SO many desirable quail
ties in the ideal meadow or pasture
that no single grass has been found
that will fully satisfy the progressive
farmer In some of the older shires in
England as many as two or three dozen
different varieties of grasses are in use
on one farm. And proportionate adj
mixture of seeds OF valuable grasses is
done with great intelligence. In the
older parts of this country it is already
admitted that grasses which ripen
early and late, with others that mature
between, are requisite for pasturage;
and as more and more experiments are
made in this direction, it is found
profitable to have a wider variety of
grasses for moving than was formerly
thought necessary.
Not only does the quality of the feed
improve by variety, but droughts are
oftentimes overcome, and seasons for
cutting made later, earlier or both, so
that two crops can be harvested where
but one was obtained under the old
method of seeding. The 1886 bulletin
of the Iowa Agricultural College re-
marks that farmers of the State would
do well to experiment with greater
variety of grasses, as there are many
valuable kinds not in cultivation which
could be raised to advantage, and
names the following mixtures: Red
clover and orchard grass, 80 pounds OF
the latter to Is of the former; tall
meadow oat grass and red clover. DC
pounds and Is respectively.
This admixture is found to blossom
the last of May, and when mown early
in June the clover stood 80 inches high
and the oat grass feet. About 70 pei
cent. of this hay was red clover, Il
per cent tall oat grass and 10 per cent.
orchard grass which had crept in. Be.
ing ON an exceedingly rich piece OF
ground, it was estimated to produce al
the rate of II 3-4 tons per acre of dry
hay. Beside this. second and third
crops of rs and IL inches were produc
ed and the grass showed in every way
their adaptability to each other fol
meadows.
Tall meadow oat grass and timothy
10 pounds each and 20 pounds of or
chard grass, was found to be poo
mixture on account of the diff'erenc,
in the time of ripening, and this wa
true of variety of mixtures which die
not seem to be adapted to each other
The mistake Of putting such grasses a
timothy which blooms and mature
late with orchard and other early ripen
ing grasses, was very Approximation

KITCHENS IN THE AIR.
Restaurants on the Top Floors of Tai
Structures in Cities.

Restaurants the Top Floors of Tall
Structures in Cities.
In order to economize space, and get
the greatest returns from the ground
occupied, there have been erected
down town in New York number of
very tall structures. In these immense
buildings rooms are set apart in the
upper stories for restaurants. The
cooking is all done in a kitchen situated
on the very top story, and the cook
instead of being immured in an under
ground basement, can look out of the
window upon the roofs of the houses of
the greater part of the city. 1t is be-
lieved that in all the tall houses where
families live. it would be found better
to have the cooking on top of the build
ing rather than down below, SO as to
get rid of the odors which usually come
when food is being prepared in the
kitchen. In the Union League Club Of
New York the cooking is done on the
top story for this reason. In all the
leading commercial and banking
houses of New York lunch is served at
midday in room set apart for the
purpose, and the book-keepers, clerks
and other employees are not expected
to leave the building for their meals.
This practice dates from a
very sensible observation OF
Lady Burdett Coutts. now
Mrs. Bartlett. She Is the richest wo-
man in the world, and the owner of a
great private bank. She noticed that
when the clerks left for their midday
lunch, that SOME of them spent more
time outdoors than was necessary,
while others came back evidently under
the influence of liquor. So she induced
her business agents to provide a lunch
in the bank building. The experiment
proved so satisfactory that the Bank Of
England made the same provision, and
since then the practice has been adopt
ed in most of the large banking ant
mercantile houses of the world. d
course, it is not so much for the goot
habits of their clerks and employees
that the managers Of these institution:
| care, but for the more intereste d rea
son that they get more work out o
them, and avoid possible errors, due t.
the indulgence of their clerks ant
bookkeepers in strong drinks. But thu
practice is good one, for eating devel
ops good fellowship the world over
and directors, cashiers, clerks and Of
| flee bows meet on an equality at thu
| lunch table. - Christian at Work.

IL feet inches long. 8 feet across the
